  • This is wonderful!!!!

  • It is one advantage of going to school that boys and girls are apt to have the concet more or less taken out of them,because they are thrown among others who are superior to them and because their companions have little patience with their pretence.

  • i just find homeschool intresting i was in public school and I dont feel it worked for me. report cards always claimed I was sassing off in diffrent words I most certianly wasn't in most polite way I corrected my teachers when I knew they made mistake or book was wrong. I knew evolution was false just from observation. I know from great grandma on reservation that text books are seriously flawed on native american indian history

  • There's nothing like being socialized by Ritalin pushing child psychologist wannabes, rigid traditionalists who think we're in the 1950's and zero tolerance authoritarians.

  • i love it i agree 100%

  • I think this is potentially very helpful, really makes the point well and great funny ending. BUT I cannot bear listening to the automated voice. It would be lovely if 2 people could provide real voices to dub over, much easier to listen to. Thanks, though, appreciate it.

  • @bh148 robotic voice was a point too... i think. i get it. its the gov tryn program us... kinda idea im bad at explaining but i get it

  • Homeschooling gave me avoidant personality disorder, true story. The video is biased by the way.

  • @FlameSwordWielder

    I'm not sure what avoidant personality disorder is, but it sounds like something I might have. And I went to public school.  Just saying!

  • @FlameSwordWielder i guarantee if you believe there is any such thing as a avoidant personality DISORDER then your 'disorder' will go away very soon. in other words if you WANT to avoid peers on the whole then you thats fine but it sounds like you don't want to avoid them but currently are. there's no disorder involved. thats just offensive.

  • I LOVE this! It the one character really portrays how annoying some people are in real life about home education.

  • LOL thanks!

  • This is hilariously right-on! Love it, going to share it!

  • When all you people are stuck in school all cooped up, us homeschoolers are out shopping, playing, socializing, going to all the activities we do, such as, gymnastics, sports, multiple musical instruments, etc. My schedule consists of gymnastics, violin, piano, aikido, youth musical association, pathfinders, swimming and babysitting, along with all the different school subjects. Plus leading a very social 13 year old life, a girl I have known for 5 years was genuinely shocked when I told her I

  • @iluvhermitcrabs18 thas f**** beautiful! i want morepositive points like this 2b made =]

  • LOL Love it!

  • LOL. I dont have any kids, but I plan to homeschool if I do. Schools bore them to death when they are not teaching about the virtues of activities that were vices 50 years ago. This is socializing in school: kids fornicating in the bathroom, boys sexually harassing girls (teachers see this and turn the other way), bullying etc. Teachers tend to be more liberal then the average population, and putting your child in a classroom with them makes them like sitting ducks.

  • @PrincessZorlon I think that @lordsprouts means that the homeschooled kids actually understand the English language (and possibly Latin), don't wear their pants around their knees and don't have so many piercings that they are in danger of being a lightning rod.... at least that's my take.

  • This is too funny. I have had similar conversations....

  • When a public school official talks about socialization, they mean brain washing them into the liberal secular humanistic world view.

  • 0:26

    the children must be Socialized

    dramatic pause

    ..so creepy

  • My friends always ask me this question,  and I always say: "I'm talking to you, right?"

  • Sorry but every home schooled kid I ever knew growing up was a bit off and narrow minded. Not that I like public schools in the slightest and both of my children attend charters but the ability for kids to work with people who don't believe and act like themselves is very important in our society. Like it or not, socialization is important and legitimate. I get that there are huge benefits to homeschooling as well but the video seemed a little ridiculous. Flame away closed minded home schoolys.

  • @lordsprouts

    What about all those kids that went to school and are a "bit off and narrow minded"?

  • @lordsprouts There are millions of kids homeschooled.... I can guarantee you are looking at them from a very narrow scope. I go to a public college and homeschool my kids are not as strange as some of the kids I go to college with.....

  • OMGsh! I have had this conversation...

  • This is the #1 question homeschoolers get asked--and the absolute LEAST important. I have no idea why anyone ever asks this question. I have nine children, ages 4-32, who were, or currently are, homeschooled for many of those growing up years. Three are grown, two are married, and are parents. They appear to be fully functional, thankyouverymuch. And the six still at home appear quite normal too. Must be a fluke, since none of them were properly socialized.

  • I taught my 6 year old possibly dyslexic friend to read when I was 10. My 15 year old neighbour taught me to swim and drive at age 5 by caring me through the water on her back. I taught and was taught by friends, and preferred that to "plaything" with someone who knew everything I knew but nothing I didn't. Relationships with non peers can teach someone so much, but their importance is overlooked in favor of for convieience sake peer interactions.

  • i would hate for either of them to be my parents "SOCIALIZE SOCIALIZE SOCIALIZE I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE BULLIED" or "i don't care if my child is so lonely they cry themselves to sleep at night but they know some useless fact that wont affect their life at all" .....makes me happy im homeless and don't have any parents....come to thank of it i would be in 8th grade now and i haven't misspelled any words yet...ive been homeless for 5 years now...no school for five years....wow

  • Please let it be known.

    The government isn't doing ANYTHING beneficial for the education of it's young citizens. Not only public schools, but also COLLEGE student education has recently been exposed as being inefficient and a waste of time and money.

    Moreover, public schools are now having chemicals to be fed to the young children, ready to be manipulated into a robot which goes have the power of critical thinking.

    We need to wake up. Cus people...proof is here.

    Kudos to the parents!

  • Amen!!! THIS is what AMERICA has to realize!! The essence of schooling has NOTHING to do with socializing. What? 'Socialize' with other students learning about all the useless pathetic and UTTERLY unnecessary things of the world?? i.e. Matrix?

    I am so happy and glad that you are parents who are Awake and use critical thinking to decide on such a hard thing. Most parents would've given in to the societal paradigms.

    BLESS YOU!

    ps: They feeding kids, chemicals these days. Know why? THINK!

  • I got more socialization when I was homeschooled than when I was in public school. Where in adult life are you going to be forced to interact with people your own age? Socialization is for dogs and animals, not people.

  • I've watched this a couple times and think its great! I missed the single over the shoulder patrol belt thing the lady has going on before and I'm wondering, we're you a patrol boy, or is the over the shoulder belt an aspirsion on Nazis?

  • Comment removed

  • @youtootube99 That is just the default character design.

  • I've watched this a couple times and think its great! I missed the single over the shoulder patrol belt thing the lady has going on. We're you a patrol boy, or is the over the shoulder belt an aspirsion on Nazis?

  • I am SO TIRED of this question! Thanks, this is hilarious.

  • I have had this sort of feedback MANY times in my 14yr of homeschooling. It doesn't matter that we are involved with: Scouts, Classical Guitar, Coops, Church activities, Park days, field trips, caring for elderly relatives, Martial Arts, or volunteer work. All I ever hear is that my kids should be in public school. Think about this? How many public school teachers stop teaching to bring their own kids home to homeschool? What does that say about they system? Something to think about.

  • Children are not socialized by other children.

    Children are socialized by adults.

    There is a short answer to the obsession with socialization.

    Have you read "Lord of the Flies?"

    hint: It doesn't end well. . .

  • This REALLY struck me funny! So true!!!

  • This is frigin brilliant!! I have had several conversations with people who are stuck exactly like this!!

  • From dictionary _DOT_ com:

    Socialize:

    –verb (used with object)

    1.to make social; make fit for life in companionship with others.

    2.to make socialistic; establish or regulate according to the theories of socialism.

    3.Education . to treat as a group activity: to socialize spelling quizzes.

    Hmmm. I wonder which definition public school parents are promoting?

  • There's an easy answer to the question "How do you socialize your children." I just say we don't believe in socialization. End of discussion.

  • As of my viewing, 5 people have been properly socialized.

  • @bigken61 hahaha, well said!

  • hilarious! some didn't get it!  the little red vote!

  • baahahahahha! loved this.

  • This is SO awesome!!!!!!

  • "Ok, ok, I can see that you are stuck on only one idea..." rofl, this video is awesome! XD

  • Oh my goodness. This video is hilarious. I will be sharing it on my MrsHomeschool Facebook page. Thanks for making me laugh. I especially like the long sigh at the end. :o)

  • hahahaha love it xD I get this all the time for being homeschooled!

  • HAHAHA! This is so true.

  • WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • hellfire, lol! Steamthrower, I think tylerjamesstephens was responding to LFDOG.

  • Sounds familiar. LOL!

  • This is too funny. Comedy really imitates life.

  • Whoever made this video needs to go back to school to learn more about how to craft a logical argument that lacks a strawman fallacy. That is something I learned about in school when I studied debate.

  • It's like having a conversation with my mother-in-law who doesn't understand what we do and is more worried about my daughter missing the prom than anything else.

  • this video is so great! loveee it! someone posted it on fb!

  • I have never been homeschooled, and not sure on how it works, but the point that "your children need to be in public schools in order to be properly socializedis a load of crap. Its not socializing they teach it's more of assimilation. Most high school grads from public schools still run around with the same social circles they were in in high school and would feel like a fish out of water if they had to move away from their comfort zone. I'm going to look into home schooling my kid.

  • I hope this comes across the right way .. I am genuinely curious.

    In the video, there is mention of protection from drugs, sexual pressure, and intimidation. Is this protection beneficial in the long-run? I recognize that the primary purpose of school is education and that this varies in quality - I think an engaged parent at home school or in conjunction with a public school is needed for proper development. What I am wondering is whether home school can/does deal with more random, less

  • Any education, whether getting a GED or a PhD, is useless without morals.

    I think this video misses the point of homeschooling. It's not just about academics...if it was all about academics I'm sure it would be best to send your child to an elite boarding school where they'd be taught by Ivy League grads. It's about morals, a point which wasn't even brought up in the video.

  • @Steamthrower Most kids are exposed to drugs and sex around middle school age. Adults are typically far more confident and independent than teens and pre-teens. Postponing real-life exposure until adulthood allows room for objectivity and confidence. So, yes, it helps very much.

  • @tylerjamesstephens in case you missed my point, I wasn't anti-homeschooling. I was merely criticizing the video because it replaces the priority of morals with academics.

  • @Steamthrower I was just answering your question.

  • @tylerjamesstephens Thanks man. I misunderstood your post.

  • Perhaps lame to you clutter4me, but we have all had the conversation in this video. I would much rather answer your question, perhaps the next video?

  • Kinda lame video. I am not against homeschooling but this video tries to make it seem that those who "public school" their children are narrow minded, focused only on socialization of children and are 'stupid' when it comes to understanding homeschoolers. So NOT true! Socialization has never been my question to ask homeschool parents. My question has been---"How do you teach ALL of the necessary core subjects adequately at different age/grade levels for your 6 children?"

  • You are the rare minority that doesn't jump to the socialization question during the conversation. This video is funny to us because it is so very true, I haven't had a conversation where it did not come up. When someone does bring up subjects I answer the question and then it goes right on the socialization question again. In my experience those who don't homeschool generally do not understand it and a healthy percentage don't really want to, hence the resorting to the socialization question.

  • @clutter4me

    thank you for not asking the socialization question. As for how we teach all the vitals, my mom will sometimes break up my school into A and B days like in school. That way i can do Math, Science, Piano, Flute, some History (I got the ancient history part a long tim e ago now we are finishing the Renaissance), Chinese, Latin, and even more taking some extra classes like art, Irish step-dance, karate, and more. Each person does it different, depending on what's best for their kid.

  • That was fantastic!!! I laughed so hard when you kept going, and almost had a moisture accident when he said his next response had to be limited due to Matthew 5:22, and that he should go. Lol. I have had those same conversations. I suppose that is why the Matthew 5:22 comment was so funny.

  • Hey regnig87. I kept writing, and it kept getting longer, because I thought the longer conversation captured a lot of conversations I actually had. The idea that perhaps I should have ended the conversation earlier is certainly a valid one, especially in real life. Still, I do like to try to explain and be understood.

  • The video should end at 2:33. When he goes on to explain all the ways his kids are "socialized" in the way the obsessive woman means, he completely misses the point. It's a bummer that even after all that he explained, he still felt the need to justify his kids' "socialization".

    Why can't he just end the discussion with: "You've bought the lie the government fed you. I'm sorry."

  • that is awesome.

  • so·cial·ize (ssh-lz)

    v. so·cial·ized, so·cial·iz·ing, so·cial·iz·es

    v.tr.

    1. To place under government or group ownership or control.

    2. To make fit for companionship with others; make sociable.

    3. To convert or adapt to the needs of society.

    This question exposes the real intent of "public school". And people's ignorance. The purpose of "government schools" is to prepare the next generation to be good Socialists, who will willingly surrender their freedom to the Ruling Class.

  • This was too hilarious! LOL!

  • That was hilarious!  It's flying around facebook this morning.

  • Thanks. I though it was, but it is nice to know other people think it is funny too.

  • extremely funny.
